Apple has sent out official invitations to select media to attend its WWDC 2023 keynote in person at the company\u2019s Apple Park headquarters in Cupertino, California. The keynote is set to take place at 10 AM PT \/ 1 PM ET on June 5. It\u2019ll also be streamed live at the same time for anyone to watch from home.<\/p>\n

The WWDC keynote is the kick-off event for Apple\u2019s annual worldwide developers conference, and typically includes a number of software announcements, including the reveal of major new updates to iPhone\u2019s iOS, iPadOS, macOS and more. This year, the headline rumored announcement is said to be the unveiling of Apple\u2019s augmented reality headset, a long-awaited device (which Apple has not officially acknowledged, of course) that marks the company\u2019s first major foray into the world of \u2018mixed reality,\u2019 which is the term many use to describe both AR and VR.<\/p>\n

The AR headset is thought to run a new version of Apple\u2019s mobile operating system potentially known as \u2018xrOS\u2019 and could carry \u2018Reality One\u2019 branding. Rumors suggest it\u2019ll be relatively slim and light compared to most competitors on the market, use OLED displays inside and feature a display outside for communicating with others IRL, and run a variant of the M2 processor. It should support iPad apps to some extent out of the box, and cost around $3,000 when it eventually goes on sale.<\/p>\n

There are still many question marks around the headset \u2014 including whether it will actually break cover at this event, but the graphics around this event are suggestive of some kind of mixed reality announcement, and developers will need time to build with this new platform if Apple wants it to be ready for consumers at its eventual launch.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
